Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of Vitamin D and/or Marine n-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation on Changes in Migraine Frequency and Severity: A randomized placebo-controlled trial.
There is interest in whether supplements, including vitamin D and marine omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids, may be effective migraine prophylaxis. However, few studies have evaluated whether vitamin D or n-3 fatty acid supplementation may reduce migraine frequency or severity. ⋯ Neither vitamin D nor marine n-3 fatty acid supplementation, compared to placebo, affected migraine frequency or severity among middle-aged or older adults.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of different endurance training protocols during cardiac rehabilitation on quality of life.
This study aimed to assess the effect of different types of endurance training during outpatient cardiac rehabilitation on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQL). ⋯ All 3 types of endurance training led to significant and well comparable increases in physical work capacity, which was associated with an increase in HRQL independent of the type of training. Our findings support further individualization of training regimes, which could possibly lead to better compliance during life-long home-based exercise training.
